Application led November 8, 1900. Serial No. 35,889. (No model.)

To LZZ whom t maycoltcewz:

Be it known that I, EUGEN FLLNER, of WVarmbrunn, Silesia, German Empire, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Apparatus for Collecting Pulp from the Waste Waters of Paper or Cellulose Works, of which thefollowing is a speciiication.

My invention relates to a funnel-shaped pulp-collector in which there are formed all around the foot of the funnel-shaped deposition-chamber a large number of separate cells adapted to be filled in any desired succession with the material caught, whereby the possibility is afforded of sorting the pulp obtained by the collector according to color and quality and allowing it to consolidate to a suitable consistency for further utilization. The peculiar construction of the hopper consists in that it is provided externally with a large number of radially-directed vertical Wings, which at the same time form the support-walls of the hopper. The cell-like spaces thus formed are each closed to the outside by a wall formed of separately-removable boards or planks.

The invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a vertical section of the funnelshaped collector and the deposit-cells formed around the same. Fig. 2 is a horizontal section of the material-collector and cells, taken on line or, Fig. l. Fig. 3 is an external elevation of the collector.

The funnel-shaped deposition-chamber is in the present instance assumed to be made of masonry. To its wall a there are attached in a radial position a large number of solid Wings or partitions b, which simultaneously form the supporting-masonry of the hopper. .In this manner there is formed around the foot of the hopper a number of cells c, which are each closed externally by a wall d of boards. The boards d are mounted in two U-shaped guides p, which are fixed on the outer faces of the Wing-walls h. The lowest board rests on a wall e, extending from one wing-partition to another, which wall is perforated by a passage f in the center beneath the boarded part,\which passage is arranged in the center on the licor of each cell with a fall to the outside and is covered by a straining or sieve plate g. The door of each cell is preferably given somewhat of a fall to the channelffrom the wing or partitions. Each channel may be closed by means of a sluice-gate h. All the passages open into a collecting-channel'i, running around the outside.

A number of pipes k run from the floor of the hopper-shaped depositing-chamber in different directions, Which pipes are raised outside of the wall of the hopper to about half the height of the hopper. In the case shown in the drawings with ten cells four pipes la are arranged, which are placed in the manner shown in Fig. 2. Each pipe la may be closed separat-ely, and each opens into a distributing-trough Z or m, respectively. By

means of each of the two troughs Z the material caught may be distributed in each of three cells, and by means of each of the two troughs m it may be distributed in each of two cells. The troughs are provided with the necessary bottom slides n or sluice-gates o.

The pulp may be sorted according to color or quality by so arranging the dischargespouts relative to the cells that when a certain pulp is fed to the device it will be discharged into a predetermined cell.

According to the cell in which the material caught in the hopper ct is to be conveyed the tap 'of the respective pipe k is opened and the corresponding slide n or sluice-gate 0 is drawn out. The fibers Iare then gradually deposited in the cell, water being drawn through the sieve g, which when the sluicegate h is lifted flows through the channelf into the channel i and is run off from this latter. The deposited mass is ladled off as required, and for this purpose the boards d of the outer closing-wall are gradually removed.

In addition to the possibility of sorting the material caught in the depositing apparatus according to quality and color and allowing each sort to consolidate up to a certain degree the invention also affords the economical advantage that the whole arrangement of the deposition-cells, owing to the utilization of the support-walls of the'hopper as the dividing-walls of the cells, only causes comparatively slight extra expense, and therefore the same affords a valuable utilization IOC of a spa-ee hitherto hardly utilized to any npbetween and guided in said wings, whereby preeiable extent. the cells formed by the wings ot' the hopper ThatI claim, and desire to secure by Letcan be closed on the outer side, substantially ters Patent, isas and for the purpose set forth.
